Recommended by John
‘Petrushka by Peter McCarey is one of the strangest and best books of 2017. The proceedings of a genuine conference on a fictitious disease: part satire, part science fiction, and an alternately chilling and fascinating insight into epidemic preparedness.’
From the publisher
“The question is can we discriminate against someone who has only some of the attributes of a human? Under the law, given the impact, this is possible. They can be put in a separate place, and kept from disturbing others. The more difficult issue emerges when the plant becomes a threat. ”
